RPC Tag Team: Startling Detective Adventures vs Tan Confessions Third Fall

Startling Detective



The Pockmarked Killer by W.C.I. Hallowell

Detectives catch a communist jewel thief.


Tan Confessions


My Japanese Romance

A GI marries a Japanese woman.


Startling Detective Adventures takes the third fall and retains the belt.



Startling Detective Adventures started as a romance magazine, then true romance, then crime fiction, then true crime. This July 1930 issue is supposedly the first true crime installment, though the second half is fiction.

Tanned Confessions wasn't as bleak or exploitive as the issue of Bronze Thrills I read, more standard romance.
